Memories of Moir... w ith a limited budget, where could students go to relax, socialize, get crazy, or just get away from it all? With five miles of nature walks, two ball fields, an iceskating and hockey rink, picnic areas, and various playground apparatus, the 25 acres of Moir Park could not be overlooked. Moir, located at 104 and Morgan Avenue South, was the spot to relive long-forgotten childhood activities as well as participate in some traditionally more grown-up fun. For the young at heart, there was swinging, sliding, and enjoying an upside-down view of the world from the monkey bars. Others chose to replace sand fights with touch football or a soccer game. The biggest Moir advantage was that no money was needed to get away from the mayhem of everyday life. A few friends, a makeshift picnic of Doritos and Rondo, a little imagination, and the park’s informal atmosphere turned into an easy, uninhibited good time. No one could help but escape with some memories after an adventure in Moir Park. Page 8 — Top: Re-experiencing her childhood fun is Linda Brick.

Working together T he summer tri-school production of Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun gave students from Jefferson, Kennedy, and Lincoln a chance to prove that there was no business like show business when they worked together. Director Warren Magnuson of Jefferson and Steve Kramer, musical director at Lincoln came up with the idea of a joint production. According to Magnuson, it didn’t make sense for each school to be doing its own musical when a larger pool of talent would result in a better show. Each school tended to stress a different area of stage production. Jefferson stressed acting, Lincoln singing, and Kennedy dance. “The important thing to remember,” stated Magnuson,” is that we get away from school rivalry. The whole idea of Rah Rah Jefferson, or Rah Rah Lincoln or Kennedy goes away. I feel that with the declining enrollment, we are four years ahead of everyone else.” Diane Martinson, who played the part of Annie Oakley, said that during the show there wasn’t any rivalry. Everyone had the same idea in mind, and everyone knew what they had to do to put a show together, so they banded together. The musical not only brought the different talent together, it also gave the student a chance to learn other aspects of stage production. It was all one big summer school class. The actors participated in the technical end, and the technical people did some acting. The crew was made up with the cast, and the scenes were moved in conjunction with the tempo of the play. 10 • Annie Get Your Gun
